for the statement that a standing stone
existed on the Sithean. As it was a two
hours expedition and he believed the stone
to be natural in shape & position, I de:
:cided it was not worth my while to go to it.

Some 230 yds. [yards] S.W. [South West] of the W. [West] cottage of Maikle
is a mound which appears to a certain
extent artificial and probably in part a
cairn, but no details are obtainable.

[Margin] (?) O.S. [Ordnance Survey] 6.

This is not in my opinion a cairn
nor the remains of a stone circle.
A portion of erupted rock has been split and
has the appearance of stone in a circle.

[Margin] O.S. [Ordnance Survey] 7.

On the farm of Maikle about yds. [yards]
NW. [North West] of the farm buildings are the remains
of a large cairn. It appears to have
been about 70' in diameter but about
one third on the E. [East] side has been removed
The remainder is from 10' to 12' high. There
are no signs of a chambered cist exposed.
The O.S. [Ordnance Survey] 6" records the finding in it of "a short
cist containing an Urn and Pictish Razor"
in 1853.
In the SE. [South East] corner of Maikle Wood about
150 yds. [yards] above the road is a small group
of ill-defined, cairn-like mounds.
